Google has announced that it is developing software for a phone that can translate speech into a different language almost instantly. I assume that the first phrase it will need is: “I have an app for that.” Speech-to-speech translation should, according to Franz Och, Google’s head of translation services, be possible and work reasonably well in a few years’ time.

Seasoned future-watchers may think that they have been here before. On January 7, 1954, IBM issued a press release announcing that it had managed to translate Russian into English using an electronic brain. Although Professor Léon Dostert, the Georgetown language scholar involved in the project, conceded it wasn’t yet possible “to insert a Russian book at one end and come out with an English book at the other”, he predicted that within three to five years “interlingual meaning conversion by electronic process ... may well be an accomplished fact”.source:timesonline
